Houston county, on a farm five miles west of Caledonia village, Jan. 24, 1877, son of Richard

two farms he was reared to manhood, being occupied with agricultural work until reaching the age of sixteen or
seventeen. He then worked for two years at the carpenter's trade. Since then he has been engaged chiefly in agriculture
in its various branches of crop raising, dairying and Stock raising. In 1904 he came to his present farm, which
then contained forty acres, but which he has increased to an area of 120 acres. Here he is raising graded and registered
Holstein cattle and other good stock. He has built a new barn and outbuildings, using for a residence the house

on the building committee, and has since been a shareholder in it. He also holds shares in the stock and grain
company. A member of the Catholic church, he served on the building committee of the school.
